Does the thought of fall and cooler temperatures have you dreaming of curling up by the fireplace? Fireplaces add an unmistakable warmth to any room. Today’s fireplaces complement rather than dominate a room.  That’s because modern fireplaces no longer act as a home’s main source of heat. Check out what happens when one set of Orange County general contractors play around with fire. The results are fabulous.

Old World Charm in Modern Home

This room received a total makeover. It’s easy to imagine yourself in a pub in any town in Ireland (or the rest of the European continent).

Somehow, that Irish whiskey or red ale just tastes better when enjoyed by a fire. The same stone used in the bar area extends out to create a home for the fireplace and a TV. This space was made for enjoying a pint of Harp while the Shamrock Rovers tear it up on the telly.

 

Why General Contractors Recommend Gas Fireplaces for Orange County Homes

Where you find new fireplaces installed in Orange County, you’ll find the fireplaces are gas-burning appliances.

General contractors install gas burners over wood burners for many reasons. To begin with, a gas fireplace saves a renovating homeowner money. Adding a fireplace after construction costs much less because a chimney doesn’t need to be added as well. As long as the fireplace has ventilation, it is safe.

Many gas-burning fireplaces feature a tempered glass front to create radiant heat. Homeowners use this radiant heat source to take the chill off one room without the need to heat the entire house.

Eco-warriors love gas-burning fireplaces as well. They don’t create soot or ash emissions, so they keep the air clean. No trees are harmed when enjoying a gas fireplace.  

Unusual Fireplaces

A creative general contractor knows how to incorporate fireplaces into just about any space.

This fireplace makes good use of limited space in the bathroom. As a bonus, two-sided fireplaces provide two heating surfaces and more angles from which to enjoy the fire.

Bathroom fireplaces offer the ultimate luxury touch. Elevate your soaking tub experience with an exquisite fireplace in your bathroom.
